So far there are only "suspicions" as to the identities of the perpet- rators of the "criminal, WASHINGTON (JTA) — Sections of the American news media were sharply taken to task by Dan Pattir, Premier Menahem Begin's information counselor, for their treatment of Israel in general and their presump- tion that Jewish terrorists were responsible for the June 2 bomb attacks against West Bank mayors although an exhaustive in- vestigation into the outrage has yet to yield evidence as to the identity of the perpet- rators.

But, he noted, there are still "no clues to the identities of the as- sassins" who ambushed and killed six yeshiva students in Hebron on May 2. Despite the absence of evidence in the bomb at- tacks, Pattir charged that Newsweek magazine has already "passed judgment," blaming "Israeli terrorists." Although Begin has con- demned the bombings as "crimes of the gravest kind," Pattir said, Time magazine quotes an anonymous State Depart- ment official who "courage- ously" hid behind anonym- ity to say that "Begin has taken actions that are clear incitements to violence." The Israeli official also criticized a cartoon pub- lished in the Washington Star, a daily owned by Time, Inc., which depicted Begin as "a terrorist" with fea- tures reminiscent of the way Nazi newspapers pic- tured Jews. He called the cartoon "sheer anti- Semitism." The cartoon was de- nounced as "obscene" by Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. Ephraim Evron who addressed the AJPA meeting. He said it could have "come out of the pages of Der Stuermer." Evron also blasted parts of the American media __for its treatmentof Israel. They have "no moral con- ception of what is going on" and "slanting and imbal- ance are setting no standards in coverage," he said. He complained that "I have seen very little reac- tion from liberal groups" to "the strange stories by anonymous officials, at- tributed to the Prime Mins- ter" (Begin). At another session, Herschel Blumberg, president of the United Jewish Appeal, told the as- sembled editors and pub- lishers that they consiti- tute "the forum for funda- mental Jewish values" and that "the Jewish newspap- ers remind us of our Jewishness," like those in the past "kept us out of the narrowness of ghetto life." Morris Amitay, executive director of the American- Israel Public Affairs Com- mittee (AIPAC), spoke of continued U.S. dependence on Arab oil and said "We've tightened the noose around our necks. Therefore, we have to be saying we have to be nice to the Arabs to have access to Arab oil." He predicted a "crunch" in U.S.-Israeli relations this year with President Carter applying more pressure on Israel "insofar as autonomy is concerned" for the West Bank and Gaza Strip. He said the issue in the au- tonomy talks is who will control the West Bank and on that, the U.S. is "closer to Egypt and the Arab states than to Israel." . FRANK WUNDOHL Carter invited the AJPA delegates to a special press conference with him at the White House Friday. He was the sixth President to do so. (See story, Page 1.)

Resolutions adopted included reaffirmation of support for the principle of maximum editorial freedom of expression of Jewish journalists in the United States and throughout the world. Another resolution de- cried "the use of violence and terrorism, directed toward Jews, Arabs or others in Israel, or the ad- ministered territories," and urged that "the perpet- rators be speedily brought to justice." The association also "condemned the Soviet in- vasion of Afghanistan and the continued persecution of Soviet Jews and other ac- tivists," and "continues to press for free emigration of dissidents and refusniks and all oppressed minority groups." Israel Says Visa Requests Unchanged TEL AVIV (JTA) — American Consul James Carr reported no significant increase in the number of Israelis asking for entry visas to the U.S. this year compared with the same period in 1979. According to travel agency sources however, there has been a substantial increase in the purchase of one-way tickets to the U.S. by Israelis who do no.t pos- sess immigration visas. 1'7
